Easton Legacy

Good morning
I have a question about the Easton Legacy shafts. In the past I've ordered Camo Hunter for my son and Jazz for my wife and both of those shafts were dead straight. I've been wanting to experiment with aluminum shafts for my self so I recently ordered the Legacy shafts. My question is these shafts are not nearly as straight. And at the point end there are two little nicks that range from 3/8-5/8 of an inch on all of the shafts. I presume this is from the swage process. But these shafts are slightly bent about the last 2-3 inches of the point end shaft.
I'm wondering is this normal and I need to straighten them myself?
Thank you for any thoughts anyone has.

That doesn't seem normal to me. I shoot legacys a lot and they always have tight tolerances. Sounds like a quality control issue from Easton.

I would agree that this is not normal. Could have been damaged in shipping or at distributors. Contact seller and return.

Alan, I agree with the previous posts. Not normal to have the problem that you're having with Legacys. My go to shaft.

Ditto on above. My Legacies are as straight as an arrow can be.A great shaft. My 2016's are my go to shaft.

Is it the point end that is swaged? If it is then you are probably correct. To my knowledge Easton has never offered a swaged pont taper. I never had the problem you are describing.
This is not normal return them in either case.

Sounds like they got bent from the swaging process, which I assume was done by a private company, rather then Easton.

I just bought some Legacy 2018 shafts that are still in the wrapping. I'll have to check them out when I get home.
